` CURTAIN Application filed April 22,

My invention relates to curtain .fixtures comprising brackets supporting either sectional or nonsectional flanged curtain rods.

The essential objects of my invention are to insure an intimate seating of the bracket inthe rod; to prevent rattling of the assembled parts; and to secure these results in an inexpensive'construction possessing a. maximum ot strength. Y

To the above ends primarily my invention consists in such part-s and in such combinations of parts as fall Within the scope of the appended claims. v

In the accompanying drawings which i'orm a part of this specification Figure 1 is a plan View of a curtain lixture embodying my invention,

Figure 2, a section of the same on 2 2 of Figure 1, and

Figure 3, an isometric vieW of a bracket and a fragment ot' the adjacent portion of a curtain rod end.

Like reference characters' indicate like parts throughout the views.

My invention as herein shown comprises a sectional curtain rod 5 which may, it' preferred, consist of a single piece. The rod as usual consists of an intermediate portion G With end portions 8 disposed at right angles thereto. 'The rod is composed of thin sheet metal` and is therefore resilient. The web 10 has inwardly directed oppositely7 curved lateral extensions 11 disposed longitudinally throughout its length, terminating with lips 12 disposed in a plane parallel with the Web. l

Each bracket comprises an attaching plate 14 provided With' perforations 15 for the reception of attaching screws 16. vIntegral with an intermediate portion of one lateral edge of the latter is a substantially rectanlinc narrarY series.

FIXTURE.

192s. serial No. 103,780.

gular lug 18 disposed in a plane at right angles to the plane of the plate, and provided preferably With slightly rounded forward corners as at 19. Each lug is trans- 12, While itsvapex 22 Will bear against the web 10. Thus it will be observed that each lug 18 has a three point contact upon the rod so that no rockingy or rattling of the engaged parts results. The snugness of the parts is enhanced by the yielding or resilient character-oiz the parts 10, 11 and 1,2 orn the rods. It will be noted that the lips 12 `act to clasp the lug into engagement With the web 10, a result which would be impossible were the lug 18 not transversely curved.

I claim 1. In a curtain rod comprising in a single piece of resilient material a Web, inwardly directed lateral extensions upon the web, and oppositely directed lips integral with the extensions and spaced from the web, an attaching plate, a lateral convexo-concave lug upon the plate disposed atright angles thereto comprising lateral edges abutting 'directly against the lips anda convex face abutting directly against the Web yalording a threepoint contact with said Web.`

2. As an improved article of manufacture,

a curtain rod bracket comprising in one integral element, an attaching plate, and a lateral convexo-concave lateral lug upon the plate disposed in a plane at right angles to tne plane of the plate With the opposite free ends thereof turned in opposite directions from `each other. Y

In testimony whereof I have atlixed my signature. v
